[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 3273260, member: 2525"] Are you guys almost exclusively fighting stuff with AC's provided by armor and natural armor, instead of dodge bonuses and size and those kinds of defenses? In my experience, there are a TON of opponants that see little or no harm from wraithstrike. In addition, y'all seem to be describing wratihstrike as an auto-hit. And yet, has anyone ever described ray spells as auto-hits? Melee touch attacks from other spells as auto-hits? Warlocks use a touch attack as their primary weapon, is that an auto-hit too? Unless your opponant has a lot of armor or natural armor, wraitstrike doesn't even do a whole lot for you, given you have a lower BAB than most melee combatants. Lots of spells (and other abilities) look very powerful on paper, and rotten in practice. Use wraitstrike in practice, and I think most people will find it isn't nearly as bad as what it seems. Same thing that happened with Warlocks...tons of people paniced about them being "overpowered" and didn't allow them in their games because of rumors of them being overpowered. A few allowed them in for one or two battles and concluded they were overpowered (because it made for new tactics), without giving them a reasonable chance over a period of time. And only in time was it discovered (by most) that warlocks were not only fine, but perhaps a tad bit underpowered. [/QUOTE]
